Transmission network growth
In supporting national and state decarbonisation objectives, substantial expansion of the transmission network continues to gain momentum. With a total of $1.2B accessible to date from State Government to support transmission network expansion as part of Clean Energy Link – North, and strong support from industry proponents, progress required remains clear. Picture of success: Supporting Western Australia to become a green energy powerhouse and support ‘Made in WA’ by enabling households and industry to decarbonise. Example of progress made: • Signing of key contracts with GenusPlus and UGL to deliver on key aspects of CEL-North. • In FY25 we connected 880 MW of renewable technology including 100MW large-scale solar, 780MW of storage and issued access offers for 759MW. Example of next steps: • Commence build out of CEL-North infrastructure • Community engagement activity • Continued planning for CEL-East • Update of policy frameworks to embed the Critical Project Framework into connections policy.
Success in our strategy is impossible without our people. Core to our strategy is an unwavering focus on ensuring we keep our people safe. As we continue delivering on the transformative activities to successfully achieve the energy transition, ensuring our people go home safely everyday will remain an utmost objective. Picture of success: Everyone is able to go home safely and without injury everyday. Example of progress made and next steps: Delivery and ongoing operationalisation of the Critical Risk Management Framework and Mental Health Strategy, providing the framework for best-practice risk and safety management.
